1 Month Progress

It's been 1 month since they broke ground for our new house, this is what it looked like 1 month ago....

And this is what it looks like today....

It's starting to look like a house!

This week they finished up with all of the framming, they put in all but 3 windows (the 3 that weren't done because the size was incorrect so they need to fix it this week),the plumbing was done (yes that is a bath tub in front..they delivered the wrong tub, the one that is missing is the garden tub for the master bath), and they put in all of the duct work and furnaces (which happen to be in the attic!). By the end of next week the house should have the electrical in and at least the bottom half of the house wrapped in styrofoam and chicken wire and the tiles sitting on top of the roof.

We submitted our final papperwork to the mortgage company earlier this week and now we are just waiting on final approval of the loan, still holding my breath and praying that all goes fine and it gets final approval. Trying not to get too excited, just in case...but it's hard not to be excited when you see your dream house comming more to life each week.

We are also getting ready for the kids to go back to school, 4 of them start on Wednesday and my oldest starts her 2nd year of college on the 23rd. So the next month will fly by because of school starting and business should start to pick up some more since summer is comming to an end.
